Quoting vineyards: Duda that is completely your own assumption. What you are saying is not based on any publicly available data. For example I like his sonnets more than I do many of his plays. This is my taste. Everyone has a right to have a taste.
|
Well, it IS based on MANY publicly available data. Read more about Leopardi, please. AND Leopardi, please. But I am NOT saying that Shakespeare is better or that Leopardi is better. I said "I prefer", as you could read. You was the first one who started about tastes. What Slavica and Quasimodo are doing is a discussion. Discussion doesn't mean quarreling. We talk about our preferences here and we try not to offend anybody or to humiliate someone's taste. Thanks.

Sui - Believe me, in 20 year time, no-one will be able to remember those well-known names such as Ahmet Selçuk İlkan and Zerrin Ozer!

Quoting Quasimodo
Yeah, with reference to poetry and being poetic, you are right. But I think I,as Qusimodo, merit Esmeralda so much more than as Claud, which is the most important point for me. Who would care poetry compared with Esmeralda herself? Poetry can only take her, for itself, as only subject. But how about having Esmeralda herself? [/QUOTE:
You forget I am female. My poetry is always Claude-like... Esmeralda poetry or Claude poetry... I suppose we have the same point. Until we choose goat poetry.

Quoting vineyards: Why are you so full of hatred?
If we are both referring to Ahmet Selcuk Ilkan the lyrics writer for some low-life arabesque songs and if your are placing him next to Hikmet or Lorca then sorry I am closer to being Mr. Shakespeare.
Please mind your manners. Or else let us not write to each other...

OK

Well, I never acted in Shakespeare's plays, but I transliterated his sonnets and studdied his works a lot, which means a lot of so-called "additional literature". So I know what am I talking about. Some critiques tell us that he gave his best in comedies, the other tell us that he was best in his tragedies, etc. etc. Even they do not share the same opinion. So can we, humble and common mortals, have our personal opinion, please?
And I was not talking about Petrarcha but Leopardi. I hope you know who am I talking about.
P.S. This was an answer to vineyards; sorry, Sui!

Quoting Quasimodo: Well, Slavica, it seems you take offence from whatever we write. No one can be blamed, for they like this poet or that poet. However I think anyone has right to express their opinion and can make some criticism. As you noticed, no-one blamed you and the other user who posted on Mayakovksy first since you expressed your opinion on him. But you might have satisfied with not adding Mayakovsky to your list, mightn't you? And you weren't supposed to comment on him, were you? If you don't like a poet, you simply don't add them to your list, that's all. Then, as long as you make comments on any poet, this creates a right, for lovers of that poet, to reply. |
I'm sorry if you understood my messages like that. I didn't complain to anyone's expressing its opinion, but to the way it was expressed.
Anyway, I apologize if you felt offended.

Give me your personal info that can help me to find you 20 years later, and if I myself can remember that name in that time, I will remind you of it. Then I will see your facial expression!
